Ropieee support would be great!

Thanks to this thread I just ordered one!

I do have an original version running with Ropiee.

@spockfish will probably need one first and adapt things a bit

Not a game changer for a Ropieee endpoint, seen at the distance; extra resolution has little use for a same diagonal (what a pity they have diminished the border size to have a bigger screen in the same form factor). More power consumption also, I suppose.

Me too, first time I have a streamer with a screen.
Excited.

Ordered mine at KiWi electronics; (Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 - 7" DSI - 720x1280 | Kiwi Electronics), a Dutch company. They have over 100 pieces in stock.

Hi,
does anybody have any hands-on experience with the display 2 by now, as to wether it works with ropieee or not? I’d like to avoid a mispurchase… :wink:

Cheers: Jan.

I tried today to install a RPi5 with the display 2. My screen does not do anything, its stays black.
@spockfish : is that expected?

Yeah. The ‘display 2’ is another device that requires a different configuration.

Ok, I will wait patiently for the next of Ropieee with display2 support.
